I'm not going out there and getting shot. Thanks though.*
Don't quite know what to do with myself. Still no word on the internship. I went out walking yesterday for four hours or so and finished watching Harper's Island. I also did some Supernatural fanart at 3 am.
This was the closest I could get to the image I had in my head. Oh, text, why do you fail me?

Sickle's Brief Review of Harper's Island:
This is a thirteen-episode murder mystery show - reminiscent of Agaha Christie's "And Then There Were None" except there's more time and more deaths. I watched it for Jim Beaver, whom I heard discussing it in an interview with Winchester Radio.
Little did I know, the show had five actors who've been on Supernatural: Jim Beaver ("Bobby"), Katie Cassidy ("Ruby", V.1, now a brunette and still wicked awesome), Ben Cotton ("Pride", and charmingly also in Slither - man, I love that movie), Chris Gauthier ("Ronald", of "You working for the mandroid?" fame and who, as with Lost's Hurley, breaks my heart if he so much as thinks about looking sad), and Callum Keith Rennie ("Roy" of "Wendigo", whom I found to be a distractingly sexy crazy psychopathic serial killer).
Also it had Richard Burgi, whom I recognized from Firefly as Lieutenant Womack in "The Message", Ali Liebert, and Brandon Jay McLaren (whose performance I really enjoyed), both of whom I should have recognized from Human Target, Matt Barr, who was in Ten Inch Hero, and Christopher Gorham, who was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "I Only Have Eyes For You".
The lead was Elaine Cassidy - sans Irish accent - whom I'd seen in Disco Pigs and, regardless of what I thought of the film, liked her in. She was lovely in Harper's Island too.
Basically, everyone was in it.
Towards the end of the show - somewhere around its last three episodes - I gave up on ranting at the screen and actually typed it down:

- If you're in a set of tunnels and a man is coming by your tunnel, don't get in headfirst into the tiny side tunnel! Get in feet first like an angry vicious badger so you have your head and goddamn rifle pointed at the man! Then you can shoot him in the leg instead of having your own feet grabbed at.
- It is my headcanon that Wakefield is Shane's dad. There's the family resemblance, for one, but mainly it's the close-up on their Significant Look when Wakefield breaks in.
- Trish has a moment of massive stupidity: a man with giant knife is about to face-off with a a man with small knife. She has a rifle. What does she do? Shoot the bad man? What madness, no! She runs off just like the Man With Tiny Knife and Death Wish says, and locks herself up in the bathroom with the gun. Ugh, so frustrated.
- Don't shoot the fucking door you've just fucking barricaded!
- I ship Cal/Chloe so hard ♥
- Although at times I hated Shane's actions, I really enjoyed his character.
- Man, Wakefield's got a serious whaling fetish.
